"Transparent bodies, mirroring shadows" is the fourth chapter of Zhanina Marinova's ongoing INTERSTICE project.

INTERSTICE - a space or place between things and events - represents the space and time that we do not have; the gaps and cracks that ultimately connect our lives and are part of our identity. "Transparent bodies" is a metaphor for certain memories and thoughts one may have that are materialized in an in-between place - namely the mind and heart. These can be people, places, events or words we have experienced that shape our perception of life.

The works in the installation at Porgy&Bess are unique screen prints based on analog ink drawings. Each piece is unique and yet has a repetitive character, like the memories, thought processes and feelings that we can individually experience on a daily basis.
